| Abstract: | The present authors reply to S. Millar's (see record 1986-08153-001) commentary on their (see record 1986-04159-001) article on spatial and movement-based heuristics by emphasizing that their research points to 2 general conclusions about encoding pattern information haptically. First, haptic encoding makes use of heuristics, and second, the choice of heuristic(s) depends on the particular context within which the encoding occurs. Although the present authors agree with Millar that there are also variations in the data within tasks, they suggest that the broader implications of this work be kept in focus.
